How To Buy A New Mattress:

1. Go To a Reputable Store...like the Mattress Miracle!
Many stores sell mattresses. For the best selection, service and prices, however, visit your local sleep specialty store. A knowledgeable salesperson can guide you through the often confusing maze of available options 

A reputable specialist will also offer a wide variety of benefits such as free delivery, installation of your new bed, removal and disposal of your old bed. If you are made to feel at ease when trying out beds, you have probably found the right place for you to buy.

2. Lie Down
When your salesperson shows you a mattress, lie down on it. Sitting on the edge of the bed or testing it with your hands offers no indication of the comfort or support of the bed. Lie down from head to foot and move into the position in which you usually sleep. Use a pillow if you sleep with one. Take several minutes to get a feel for the support and comfort the bed is providing. Close your eyes to block out any distracting stimuli. 

If you are a side sleeper, make sure the mattress offers enough cushioning for your shoulders and hips. Too hard a surface causes buildup of pressure points. This restricted circulation leads to more tossing and turning and less restful sleep. If you sleep with a partner, bring him/her with you so you can both try the mattress.

Avoid looking at too many different mattresses; this can cause confusion. Look to your salesperson as the expert who can help you make an informed decision.

3. Buy the Best Mattress Set You Can Afford
The technological advances in the mattress industry have been astounding in the past 10 years. If you haven’t shopped for a mattress lately, you will be impressed and perhaps a bit surprised at the selection of comforts, the span of qualities and the range of prices.

Start by trying out the best that the store has to offer. If it is comfortable, supportive and affordable, you have found your bed. Keep looking until you are satisfied and buy the best quality you can afford. Remember, you will spend a third of your life on this new bed. The benefits you receive from a good night’s sleep will affect the way you look, feel and perform in life.

4. Don’t Forget the Accessories
Once you have selected your new mattress and box spring, make sure you have the right accessories for them. A new sleep set should be placed on a sturdy bed frame, one with a center support if you are buying full, queen or king size bedding. 

A mattress pad should be used to protect the mattress and keep it clean for years of good use. As with sheets, the higher the thread count, the better the pad.

Throw out those dusty old pillows! Proper spinal alignment while sleeping includes the right support for your head and neck. Try various pillows on the mattress you’ve selected and choose one that supports you comfortably. Goose down is the most supportive and longest lasting for pillows. It is more expensive but, like a good mattress, is just pennies a night when you consider how long it will last.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW MATTRESS – NO FLIP MATTRESS

CAUTION: Do not attempt to turn the mattress by yourself.

This may result in personal injury or damage to your mattress. Handles should be used only to position the mattress. They may pull out if used to support the full weight of the mattress. 

Regularly turning of your mattress is CRITICAL. For the first 3 Months after purchase, turn your mattress monthly, theerafter, every 90 days. Also, remember to rotate your box spring twice a year.

We highly recommend that you have your newly purchased mattress set delivered by Mattress Miracle’s kind and efficient delivery drivers. If however, you decide to pick up your set upon purchase, here are some guidelines to ensuring that your new mattress and foundation are properly installed. Note: Improper installation may result in DAMAGE to your new sleep set.

Keep your new sleep set in good condition by following these care guidelines:

• Ask your retailer for advice about properly moving your new mattress and foundation into your home. Improper installation can damage your new sleep set. 
• Some new mattresses should be turned and/or rotated to help smooth out contours and equalize the wear and tear that normally occurs. Not all mattresses need this type of care, however, so check with your retailer to see what is best for your particular mattress.
• Do not use the handles to support the full weight of the mattress. Typically, handles are designed to help you position the mattress over the foundation. If used improperly, handles may pull out and damage the fabric.
• Vacuuming is the only recommended way to clean a mattress. A quality, washable mattress pad will help keep the sleep set free from stains. If you're determined to tackle a stain, use mild soap with cold water and rub lightly. Don't ever soak a mattress or foundation.
• Twice a year, check for signs of wear and tear to see if it might be time to invest in a new mattress set.
